She has over 10 years of experience working in various mental health settings including school-based mental health services, child and adolescent therapy, college counseling, drug and alcohol counseling, and outpatient therapy with people of all ages.

Her counseling technique includes Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), and Mindfulness; and her approach has a strong emphasis on identifying strengths, empathy, and also the connection between the mind and body. Special interests include Somatic Experiencing, incorporating nutrition for treatment of mental health concerns, and therapeutic art techniques.

Caitlin specializes in treating individuals struggling with anxiety disorders and individuals that identify as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) and/or Empath. Maybe you are a HSP and/or Empath and do not know it yet! Anxiety typically comes with the territory of feeling life and others so deeply. Caitlin will assist you in becoming solid and grounded with boundaries that are comfortable for you.

Technique aside, research confirms that the counseling relationship is the most important aspect of therapy. You will find an atmosphere of warmth and acceptance where clients can express themselves without feeling judged. For your counseling session, Caitlin will listen to you and work towards understanding you and your concerns with her full, undivided attention. When more guidance is requested, she will offer evidence-based counseling techniques and coping strategies and will shift her approach as necessary to suit your needs.
